Helio Basin Brewing Co. will host its 2nd Annual Police vs. Fire First Responders Throwdown on Saturday, May 12 to honor community heroes with family-friendly challenges, craft beer, live music and more.

The event will also mark the launch of this year’s Blue Line Blonde beer, which was brewed by first-responders. Ten percent of all proceeds from the beer will benefit the 100 Club of Arizona, a nonprofit dedicated to providing financial assistance to families of public safety officers and firefighters who are seriously injured or killed in the line of duty. The beer is a crisp, blonde ale brewed with blue agave.

Huss Brewing Company has also created a Fire Station #2 Red Ale to benefit firefighter-focused charities.

At the event, families can enjoy a variety of activities including a look at a firetruck and a vintage police car.
